~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Can you give me some examples of teachings that you don't like? (Truthfully I didn't know there was a difference between principals and teachings but...) Maybe all of us have had problems with the same ones as you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So is that an admittance to not really being in a position to judge it? Sounds like it to me.

Do you see how I might want to clear up some misconceptions about Christianity in the same way as you do about the occult?
